Taunt the target, increasing the likelihood the creature will focus attacks on you.

How it works

Each cast of Growl costs 15 Focus. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Threat (effect type 63). Its base value is 50. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Growl is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and a 5 sec cooldown. When cast it changes threat.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
